A federal judge struck down a Department of Homeland Security policy that DHS used to block immigrants from getting a hearing on whether they could be released on bond. 🧵
Thousands of immigrants could be eligible for bond hearings, striking down DHS policy: Judge
The decision could potentially allow thousands of immigrants who have been subject to mandatory detention to be released.

There will come a time - in the not so distant future - where the type of Doctor you’d want caring for you and your loved one will be chosen for these vital national roles.
Until then, we sit on the sidelines and we work to make that reality happen.

He is a real charmer (before they even got to the substance of the case)!

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

I don't know Bill Ferguson -- but he is not a lawyer. I do not know a single experienced redistricting or voting rights lawyer who agrees with him. If Ferguson doesn't want to redraw the map, he should just own it. Don't make up dumb legal arguments.
In an interview with @lauren-egan.bsky.social, Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson explains his caution over redrawing the congressional maps in his state:

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.
